The errors include statistical and systematical uncertainties as well as the uncertainty in the absolute D^+ branching fraction scale. We also set the first 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode Br(D^+ to K^+ pi^0) < 4.2 x 10^-4.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-07-15T13:51:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "confidence level upper limit", "branching fraction measurements", "doubly cabibbo-suppressed decay mode", "data sample", "significant improvements" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 620435, "adsabs": "2003hep.ex....6019A" } } }
